"My time spent playing as a Spartan was truly an amazing experience. I was very fortunate to have the daily opportunity to be surrounded by top-notch competition, world class facilities, and a staff that pushed me to be my best. As a player, the family-like closeness between my teammates, alumni, and staff truly made me realize that putting on the Green & White meant that I was a part of something bigger than myself. All of these factors, coupled with an enormous support network, helped propel me to the professional ranks. As the program continues to be successful, I have no doubt there will be many more Spartans destined to play at the highest level."

Coach Baum, Coach Rensing and the entire MSU staff could not have done a better job of preparing me for the next chapter in my life, which was the MLS. The day in-day out dedication that the coaching staff has dedicated to their players is unmatched by any staff in the country. They are improving their players and figuring out new ways to help the team succeed every day. They helped me grow into the man that I am today, and I am extremely grateful to them for that."

The Alumni bond forged during the playing days has resulted in great friendships and a solid network of successful friends. Playing after college and talking to teammates made it clear to me just how strong the brotherhood is at MSU compared to other schools. I am proud to be a Spartan! Go State!"
